This is an excellent study and I bet you have a sore hand but it is pretty boring as anything beyond a study. If it were to be anything beyond a study it would have a variation in line, such as I suppose you could use different gradients of pencils. Lines should be darker where there is obvious bone lines and lighter where it is soft flesh, that is what I am told all the time anyway although I dont understand it much. Your other drawings have a strength about them, this seems to be falling into the abyss of attempted photo-realism, and successfull photo-realism isnt much to be desired for in the real world. I think the best way to learn how to draw hands is to force yourself only 1-2 minutes each time and just do heaps of them. Eventually it will be second nature and will have a life to it as apposed to hours of maticulous boredom.

I suck at giving advice by the way so I'm sorry if I fail you.
